Introduction

Vertigo, a prevalent clinical challenge, often leads to diagnostic dilemmas due to its multifactorial etiology.

Etiology and Pathophysiology

Vertigo can be peripheral or central, with varying pathophysiological mechanisms. Peripheral vertigo, often vestibular, is usually benign. Central vertigo, however, is neurological and warrants immediate attention.

Clinical Assessment

Effective management begins with a thorough history, physical examination, and appropriate investigations. The Dix-Hallpike maneuver and head impulse test are crucial in evaluation.

Management Strategies

Treatment is etiology-specific, ranging from vestibular rehabilitation for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo to pharmacotherapy for Meniere's disease.

Conclusion

Understanding vertigo's complex nature will equip healthcare professionals to provide effective patient-centered care.
